6. Something About the Way You Look

I walked back to the hotel nearly in tears. Arriving at the hotel I slid down the side of the bed and started to really cry. I don't know why I was crying, I mean it was typical Sarah. She got jealous of the little attention I had an she would put me down until she got what she wanted. And let me tell you, Sarah Virgil ALWAYS got what she wanted.

Sarah and I have been best friends since the end of 8th grade, so about 2 years. We've had amazing times but she always got the attention and the guys. If I had a boyfriend, she would make sure it ended badly. She did whatever she had to do to get the guy.

But not this time. Niall saw me and wanted me. Can't she just get over herself and be happy for me instead of being a brat?

All of a sudden, a ringtone I didn't recognize as my own went off. I sat confused then remembered I had Niall's old phone. I reached for my bag and pulled out the phone. Sure enough, Niall texted me, just like he said he would. I smiled and wiped the tears from my face.

Niall: hey are you guys doing anything tn?

Me: most likely not. Unless there's something we should be doing?

Niall: well there's a party. Greg and I want you and Sarah to come with us.

Me: sounds good. Ill tell Sarah and text you😀

Niall: perfect can't wait xx

I smiled and put the phone away. Just then I heard a knock at the door. I got up and opened the door. Sarah was staring back at me. "You don't have your key?"

"It's umm, it's on the table actually." Her face was red and puffy, most likely from crying. I left the door open and turned around, heading to the closet to pick an outfit for tonight.

"Em? I'm really sorry. I am happy for you, really. But you know how I get when you get the guy."

"Because, you and I are going to a party. With Niall and Greg." Sarah just stared at me. I just sighed. "He gave me his old phone. Niall, I mean. He gave it to me to talk to us. And he texted me just now. So yeah."

"What, when?"

"At Nando's. When he and I walked in later. No more questions we have to look good!" Sarah just shrugged in response. I turned up iTunes an we started to get ready. A few hours later, we were ready. I settled for a short hot pink dress and silver strappy heels. I straightened my long ombre hair and put a silver headband on. Sarah opted for a blue dress, identical to mine, and black strappy heels. Her blonde hair was curled and she wore a black headband.

We bought the outfits together and we really never minded wearing the same outfit at the same time. It was funny because people always thought we were twins.

There was a knock at the door and we went to answer it. Staring back were a pair of stunned looking brothers. Niall wore khaki dress pants, white sneakers, and a polo. Greg also wore khakis, sneakers and a polo, but in a different color.

"Wow. Emily, you look amazing. You too, Sarah." Niall said to us. We all exchanged hugs. Even in my heels I was still shorter than Niall. I loved it.

"you look pretty wow yourself guys! Shall we?"

Niall extend his arm for me to grab on to, Greg did the same for Sarah. "We shall"
